Yeah, I think this is the goal - remember; there are some problems that only need to be solved correctly once! Imagine something like a millennium problem - you'd be willing to wait a pretty long time for a proof of the RH!
I've been doing some reading on LLMs for protein/RNA structure prediction and I think there's a decent amount of work on SO3 invariant transformer architectures now

Mid-career jack-of-all trades problem solver with a decade of software engineering, data science, and analytics experience. Very experienced working with large geospatial datasets, planning, simulation, and control policy work. Looking for roles involving physical science, chemistry, energy, or other fun science and engineering problems.
I bet the folks at Skydio would want to talk to you.
this reminds me a bit of Cockatrice - hope your version ends up cooler though!
I can't believe anyone else remembers this game but my best friend in elementary school and I used to spend our entire sleepovers playing Oni. What a legend.
Good note; thanks! If a mod wants to change the link to that one, it'd be great.

Traditionally, math circles are a group activity where a bunch of young students get together to discuss mathematics that they might not have otherwise seen in school.I'm a mid-career software engineer who was an undergraduate math major a decade ago, and recently realized that I was missing the thrill of learning new math in my life.I'm curious about starting a math circle for adults in SF -...
Looking at the datasheet, it looks like there's one qubit with quite a bit worse error/noise than the others - anyone know why this might be?

This is the best comment I've ever seen describing the actual practice of mathematics.
(as a historical aside, the name is "Quipper" because I kept trying to pronounce the project name (ChromeOS-Wide Profiling, or CWP) and ended up quite liking "Quip".
The internal aggregation code, of course, is known as Bartlett.
Fun fact, I wrote the first version of this code as a Google Intern. Imagine my surprise when I saw that they're still using it, and it's been developed and fleshed out!
This is an interesting look at how transit is shifting around public Micromobility options like scooters and bike share. Notably, commute hours seem to be drifting away from bimodal morning-evening. A neat take!

I think Bayesian Optimization is what you're looking for here. There's an internal tool at google ("Vizier") for which a white paper has been published that solves this exact problem. I don't know if there are any public implementations of Vizier but you could probably reverse engineer some of it from the white paper:

I saw an article on here a few days ago that suggested you could detect isotopes present in "more recent" forgeries that came about as the result of the nuclear testing age that would not be present on the originals.
He's also the chief contributor to the S2 Geometry Library.
I'm on a google machine now and it's a symlink to /bin/bash.
That video is 100% filmed on the multi-use path outside google :D

As someone who just did this internally:
Do it. It's worth your time. Very well paced exercises, and it walks you through the flow quite nicely.
